1000 words exact - each paragraph is 100 words!


( Frozen in Time )

Sorrow

for the tamingthemuse prompt #155 - Sorrow (def: a great sadness, esp. associated with loss or bereavement; grief; unhappiness; woe), and for "S" of an A-Z of DeathNote on fanfiction.net. I was thinking about the funeral scene of four weddings and a funeral which always makes me want to cry, but it could be quite a lot of films.

DeathNote (c) Tsugumi Ohba

 

( Sorrow - In which Misa explains the concept of bereavement to Ryuk )

 

R is for Reaper

Fandom: DeathNote
Prompt: #135 -nihilism and Feb challenge (tamingthemuse ) and "R" of A-to-Z of DeathNote (fanfiction.net)
Warnings: G, no spoilers, minor characters.

AN: Nihilism is the view of no real existence. What's less real than a shinigami? thus this was born. I didnt intend it to be over 1000 words, nor in present tense, but it developed that way, so... february challenge too!

( In which the shinigami's find their amusement from an unexpected source. )

Delectare ~ French. lit. "to please".
a.k.a That Butler, So Pleasing  *winkwink*

Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler)
Prompt: #134 Delectable  (tamingthemuse</lj> )- 1) highly pleasing, enjoyable. 2) delicious, appetising
Warnings: G rated, no spoilers.

( In which Sebastian makes cake and thinks about his own sweet-tooth )

A/N: dictionary.com suggests heavenly as a synonym for delectable. Ciel also means heavenly. Thus this was born. The cake is Black Forest Gateau; recipe (in italics) is curtousy of TheTimes:Food supplement. Actually BFG wasnt invented until 1915, 14 years after Queen Victoria's death, so Sebastian wouldnt have heard of this, (unless he's a time traveller as well as a demon) but... mmm, cake.
